This includes a a discussion of your clinical history, a clinical examination (including blood pressure and BMI assessments).

Based on this, Dr Salome is then able to manage your acute or chronic condition.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test  used to check your heart's rhythm and electrical activity. Electrodes attached to the skin are used to assess the electrical signals produced by your heart each time it beats. 

Resting ECGs are done with you lying down, then followed by a stress ECG. The stress ECG requires exertion to see if there is any strain on your heart, requiring intervention. This test is then completed with resting ECGs done at 3minutes and 6 minutes post exertion.

Spirometry is a  test used to diagnose and monitor certain lung conditions by measuring the amount of air you can breathe out in one forced breath. It is carried out using a device called a spirometer, which is a small machine with a mouthpiece. Commonly used post COVID19 infection to assess residual lung function and progress.
